PUBLIC:

Our partnership with Mangrove came as a result of our first fundraising round. We had several other offers (some of them rather larger, financially, than Mangrove's) but we eventually chose Mangrove, and we haven't regretted it for a second since!

Besides from being a purveyor of funds, they were lovely to deal with both during the round and afterwards - no-one else we dealt with displayed as much ambition and international vision as they did. We were looking for someone who would act as a partner as well as a mere fundraiser, and we haven't been disappointed. They really care about enhancing the company rather than just maximizing profits - as things stand now, we still regularly ask for and receive advice from them, and we hope to continue to do so in the future.
